Guys: I'm having a lot of trouble finding a Dimension based Pre-Emergent (15-0-15 or close equilivant) fertilizer with Slow released nitrogen. The May Application for Centipede/St. Augustine gave out about mid-July. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated. I've checked through Lesco and nothing on the website. Penninton Seeds 15-0-15 Weed and Feed with Atrazine is my after green-up application. Could use that again but that's getting late for atrazine which is what I'm trying to avoid.
Thanks,
Roy

lesco sells a Dimension .15% 19-0-19, 100% PPSCU mini (fairway grade) and a Dimension .21% 18-0-18, 50% PPSCU mini (fairway grade). Just adjust your rates.

Not sure why you would use 100% slow on warm season but the 18-0-18 looks good. Good luck.
19-0-6 30% slow with .1%

This is what I'm looking to use next year. Many thanks. The May 1 app. was simply the Pennington Weed and Feed with Atrazine and I had some crab by the end of July in the centipede. I may have to do a split application as the sandy soil with rain does leach badly. The soil surface is 2" at best in the SC coastal area. Any suggestions?

Harly-D and others :
Another though was that Centipede only requires 1/2 lb/K sq. ft., which is what I applied, and that there was not sufficent pre-em (either Atrazine or Dimension) to prevent the seed from germinating. Too much Nitrogen turns centipede yellow and lasts for a long time. Any thoughts or suggesions on that.

lesco does make those blends but i did not see them at the stores inventory in s.c.
they might get it in for you if you have a need for a ton or more but if you only want a few bags you well have to look at their stocking assortment.

ps
i don't know about mini(fairway grade)
elite or mini usually refers to greens grade

BG: The Lesco site shows them in their "Combo Products" under "Mini Particle" rather than "Standard" I'm sorta lucky as the New Lesco in TN is managed by a guy from Columbia and will get me 15-20 bags or so. Thanks for everything, Roy
